Permit and inspection tracking
No crew stood down because a permit or inspection slipped. Every application is tracked, the council gets chased, and each inspection is booked before you need it.

How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Every application on one list
Each job's permits and approvals with their status, reference numbers, conditions and the date you need them by.
- 02
Status checked and chased
Applications that haven't moved get a polite chase to the council or certifier. Requests for more information go straight to the PM.
- 03
Conditions turned into tasks
Conditions on an approval become dated tasks against the job, so the one on page 9 doesn't get missed.
- 04
Inspections booked ahead
When the programme shows a stage coming up, the inspection request goes out with time to spare and the site manager gets the time.
- 05
Certificates filed
Approvals and inspection certificates are saved to the job folder as they arrive, ready for handover.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
The PM signs off every application and every reply to the council. It chases and books. It never lodges anything on its own.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
3 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 138 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$6,900
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Permits and approvals sit in a council portal someone checks when they remember. Inspections get booked the day the frame goes up, the certifier can't come until next week, and the crew waits. In a busy month that's a few lost days per job.

A month in
Inspections get booked days ahead instead of the day before, approvals stop being the reason a crew sits idle, and every certificate is in the job folder at handover.
FAQ
Can it check permit status on the council portal?
Where the council portal allows it, yes. Where it doesn't, permit tracking works from the emails the council sends and chases by email.
Is permit and inspection tracking worth it for small residential jobs?
Yes. A renovation with one permit and three inspections gets the same tracking, just a shorter list, and the crew still never waits on a missed booking.
